## Abstract Schedule dependent inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS) and tumor growth by 5โfluorouracil (FUra) was examined in Yoshida sarcoma (YS) bearing Donryu rats. After implantation of YS cells (1 ร 10^4^), FUra (20 mg/kg/day) was continuously (group C) or daily bolus injection (group B) ad

## Abstract Cytotoxic effect of 5โfluorouracil 5โFU is mediated through inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS), and 5โFU is catabolised by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). Efficacy of 5โFU may therefore depend on the TS and DPD activity of colorectal cancer. Archival tumour specimens from 30
The thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibition rate was measured after tegafur (FT) administration (1.5 g/day, at least 10 days) in 7 sigmoid colon cancer patients. The TS inhibition rate decreased as the interval between the time of the last administration and the time of the tumor resection increased lo
## Abstract Thymidylate synthase (TS) is the primary target of 5โfluorouracil (5โFU). A VNTR polymorphism in the TS promoter region is associated with the efficacy of 5โFUโbased chemotherapy in colorectal cancer. A common G>C SNP at the 12th nucleotide of the second repeat in the TS\*3 alleles has
## Abstract We have recently demonstrated in a Phase I/II study that combination chemotherapy with docetaxel (TXT) and Sโ1 is active against metastatic gastric carcinomas. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of these drugs, both the growth inhibitory effects and the expre
